Destined

by Riana Bay

Lily and James didn't end up together by accident; they were Destined, for a reason. And neither of them know it, but there was a time when they were together before, long ago.This is the story of how they discover their amazing past. -finished-

21. Epilogue, and the Final Author's Note

Epilogue:

Lily and James married less than a year later. Sirius Black, still James's best friend, stood in as the Best Man. Remus Lupin gave Lily away, since her father was still absent from her life. At the age of twenty, Lily gave birth to their son, Harry James Potter, and the long-awaited heir of Gryffindor. That, however, is another story, and not my story to write.

The Final Author's Note:

Ok, hello everybody.. By now you have finished reading my fic, Destined. Yes, I know it's far-fetched, but I liked the idea and so, Destined was born. There are a few things in this story that I know are false (For instance, I know Lily's dad didn't leave them because Petunia goes on about how their "parents" - plural- were so proud of Lily. I added that anyway because I thought it would be a pretty good reason for why Lily was so resistant to fall in love.), but I also added some things in there that I think might be true.

For instance, I think Harry is Gryffindor's heir. I also think that the fact that they lived in Godric's Hollow is no coincidences. JKR doesn't have coincidences, besides that whole Mark Evans mess, but we won't talk about that. So if you read the final two Harry Potter books and see some things that might have been in Destined, think of me ;0).

Thank you for putting up with me for so long!!! Keep an eye out for more Lily/James stories coming from me soon. If (and that's a big If) I write another long L/J, it will be normal, with no destiny crap or anything like that. I've grown really fond of One-shots, so I'll probably have a lot of them. And song-fics are fun. Ah, my writing agenda is flexible at the moment, though I have some big plans.

I've really loved and looked forward to your reviews, and each and every on of you are wonderful. Like I said, thank you for putting up with me! It's flattering that anybody, let alone all of you, would want to read my crap. Haha.

I'm already making plans for a sequel to this story, after the Marauders graduate. I'm not sure about it yet, but it'll definitely have more of Alli in it, as she's my favorite character. Ahh, I really don't want to end this story! - I'll miss the reviews- but it's over. On to the next story!

So, I'm saying the final Goodbye in Destined, and I'll (hopefully) see you in my next story!

Lots of love,

-Ria
